The Music tracks were given titles such as “Why Am I Famous?”, “What Have I Done?” and “What Am I For?”.

Banksy, now famous the world over, has transformed his artwork from acts of vandalism to sought-after high art pieces.
Journalist, Max Foster has referred to the rising prices of graffiti as street art as “the Banksy effect.”

So starting with nothing but a can of spray paint, he has in just over a decade, become a Brand, a Movement and perhaps soon, a business empire. . .

Therefore, when your child is heading down to Bunnings to apply for a job, why not encourage them to keep walking around the aisles until they reach the paint section. For as we now need Artists like Bansky, the next generation might also need, with the same desperation, your incredible child.
